linux/dim: Move implementation to .c files

Moved all logic from dim.h and net_dim.h to dim.c and net_dim.c.
This is both more structurally appealing and would allow to only
expose externally used functions.

net/mlx5e: Enable adaptive-TX moderation

Add support for adaptive TX moderation. This greatly reduces TX interrupt
rate and increases bandwidth, mostly for TCP bandwidth over ARM
architecture (below). There is a slight single stream TCP with very large
message sizes degradation (x86). In this case if there's any moderation on
transmitted packets the bandwidth would reduce due to hitting TCP output limit.
Since this is a synthetic case, this is still worth doing.

Performance improvement (ConnectX-4Lx 40GbE, ARM)
TCP 64B bandwidth with 1-50 streams increased 6-35%.
TCP 64B bandwidth with 100-500 streams increased 20-70%.

Performance improvement (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86)
Bandwidth: increased up to 40% (1024B with 10s of streams).
Interrupt rate: reduced up to 50% (1024B with 1000s of streams).

Performance degradation (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86)
Bandwidth: up to 10% decrease single stream TCP (1MB message size from
51Gb/s to 47Gb/s).

net/mlx5e: Move dynamic interrupt coalescing code to include/linux

This move allows drivers to add private structure elements to track the
number of packets, bytes, and interrupts events per ring. A driver
also defines a workqueue handler to act on this collected data once per
poll and modify the coalescing parameters per ring.

net/mlx5e: Change Mellanox references in DIM code

Change all appropriate mlx5_am* and MLX5_AM* references to net_dim and
NET_DIM, respectively, in code that handles dynamic interrupt
moderation. Also change all references from 'am' to 'dim' when used as
local variables and add generic profile references.

net/mlx5e: Move generic functions to new file

These functions were identified as ones that could be made generic and
used by multiple drivers. Most of the contents of en_rx_am.c are moved
to net_dim.c.
